+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
2 And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day.
and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
6 And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
7 And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so.
And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day.
And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so.
And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so.
And God says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
13 And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years;
And God says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years,
15 And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night;
17 And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
19 And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.
And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth.
And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
23 And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
And God says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
27 And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth.”
29 And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
And God says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
